Who Can Act<br />

For Hamilton Fish, Jr.<br />

For the past twenty-flve years off<br />

and on we have heard of Hamilton<br />

Fish, Jr., mostly from men, all kinds<br />

of men; men who could work with<br />

him, men who would not work with<br />

him, men who dealt with him fairly,<br />

men who dealt with him falsely, men<br />

who served him through fear, affection<br />

or admiration, men who fawned<br />

upon him, men who counseled him,<br />

some well, some ill. Generally speaking<br />

the comments, favorable or adverse,<br />

were positive.<br />

Mr. Fish has been quoted and misquoted,<br />

sometimes to the temporary<br />

advantage of the speaker, sometimes<br />

to his disadvantage. Several parties<br />

have endorsed his candidacy for the<br />

House of Representatives. He has never<br />

been successfully opposed in his district.<br />

Republicans and Democrats alike<br />

have contended with him and about<br />

him. The possibilities of his candidacy<br />

for Governor of the State of <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>York</strong> and for President of the United<br />

States have been considered for years,<br />

and continue to create dscussion.<br />

Recently, it happens, we have heard<br />

particularly complimentary remarks<br />

about Mr. Fish's actions from leaders<br />

In both parties, gentlemen who have<br />

had occasion to observe Mr .Fish's<br />

mettle tested in action, quick action.<br />

The gentlemen admired Mr. Fish for<br />

specific reasons. Their comments were<br />

made, not for publication, not to win<br />

his favor nor the favor of another.<br />

They were made in the manner of men<br />

who know men and delight in expressing<br />

admiration for ability wherever it<br />

appears in public, social or private<br />

life.<br />

Now we come to the press. Since<br />

the United States was a nation, and!<br />

before, the forbears of Hamilton Fish,<br />

Jr., have had a part in it, always noteworthy.<br />

So Mr. Fish is news. And all<br />

sorts of words arid deeds have been<br />

attributed to him. The following item<br />

from the Highland Democrat, being<br />

one of the most feeble in our opinion<br />

in many respects:<br />

"Won Partial to "Ham" Fish in California.<br />

Congressman Hamilton F i s h ,<br />

Jr., of Garrison, who would like to be<br />

President of the United States, is out<br />

on the Pacific Coast looking for friends<br />

and support for the Republican nom­<br />

ination next year as chief executive<br />

of our great country. But evidently<br />

the Californians are not crazy about<br />

the Putnam County Representative. A<br />

news item from Hollywood says that<br />

in a debate last Sunday night with<br />

Upton Sinclair before ten thousand<br />

people on the subject of two ways to<br />

end the depression, "The audience appeared<br />

to be pro-Sinclair. Fish was<br />

jeered frequently, but sometimes drew<br />

applause from the 75-cent section."<br />

In the first place it must be admitted<br />

that Mr. Fish carries his town,<br />

county and district, a fact often demonstrated.<br />

The value of one's home<br />

town vote may be pufely sentimental,<br />

but it seems to be valued by many<br />

men, and failure to win the home town<br />

vote is not agreeable to a candidate<br />

nor to his supporters though they run<br />

into millions. What Californian looks<br />

to Hollywood for light on public affairs?<br />

What is the 75 cent section that<br />

it is singled out? Why the expression,<br />

"crazy about." Why "Jewed;** If "Jeered"<br />

why?<br />

Why not stop talking aboilti Mr.<br />

Fish, why not stop quoting him, unless<br />

informed? That would be too hard<br />

for the American people. Many will<br />

say they speak for Mr. Fish, now, as<br />

in the past. Let's find news, who can<br />

act for Mr. Fish .who can say what<br />

he does and produce the record and<br />

who can say whether he is qualified<br />

to judge him.<br />

Speaking for ourselves, we have alv<br />

ways voted for Mr. Fish, the Republican<br />

leader of our county and our district.<br />

He never asked for our vote.<br />

Except for difference of opinion over<br />

the 18th Amendment we have had<br />

common intercut. In the Important<br />

matter of assessment of real property<br />

in Putnam county, Philipstown<br />

appears to have proceeded better than<br />

Southeast. We know our troubles are<br />

made in Southeast, and we hope action<br />

will be taken on behalf of our<br />

fellow property owners to secure adjustment<br />

of errors, particularly inequalities<br />

of assessment, as Philipstown<br />

is constantly effecting. We have<br />

known Mr. Fish only in Putnam county.<br />

We have never seen him face a<br />

worthy adversary. We value the opinion<br />

of those who say he has unusual<br />

ability; and we shall be glad to parti­<br />

cipate in his return to the House or<br />

his election to any office the leaders<br />

of the Republican party offer him.<br />

Brewster Gives<br />

Fast Service<br />

George Schneider writes that on<br />

Monday at eleven o'clock he mailed a<br />

letter at Ocean Grove, <strong>New</strong> Jersey, to<br />

Hopes Drug Store and on Tuesday<br />

evening at seven-thirty he received<br />

the article he requested. So he adds,<br />

"Brewster is a very fast town for service."<br />

Time and again we have experienced<br />

the sort of speed George appreciates<br />

so deeply. The post Office in Brewster,<br />

the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Central Railroad Company<br />

transporting the mail handled by<br />

efficient men start the ball rolling and<br />

others involved in serving the need effect<br />

delivery in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City, Northampton,<br />

Washington, <strong>New</strong> Jersey,<br />

Philadelphia and also a return reply<br />

or delivery as quickly as the 36 hour<br />

interval mentioned above. Today, one<br />

can send and receive from Wall Street<br />

within six hours, and from shops or<br />

warehouses, either by rail or truck,<br />

within the same period.<br />

Why? Because; of Senator Depew<br />

and the principles he made practical<br />

with the cooperation of hundreds of<br />

men who knew that happiness, peace<br />

of mind, comfort to those needing<br />

physical or mental relief, depended<br />

upon service rendered by people able<br />

and willing to do their part to the<br />

credit of their (organization and to<br />

themselves personally. The part that<br />

credit plays in this speedy service<br />

would require a book longer than the<br />

Senator's Reminlseienses of Eighty<br />

Years. But our neighbors know why<br />

Hopes serves George Schneider, at all<br />

times and under all conditions. His<br />

credit is good.<br />

An emergency existed. An emergency<br />

was met. Emergencies always exist.-<br />

Even the <strong>New</strong> Deal emphasizes<br />

the fact. Some emergencies,<br />

like prosperity may be around corners.<br />

Action by responsible, confidence—inspiring<br />

men relieves emergency and effects<br />

service. Red tape, shifting responsibility,<br />

trading to secure immediate<br />

personal advantage, cause pain<br />

and trouble. Exceptions will support<br />

the value of action in an, emergency<br />

rather than delay.<br />

The credit of the U. S. Post Office,<br />

the credit of the <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> Central<br />

and the credit of the Hopes and<br />

Schneiders relies on the same source,<br />

the source that cares for us all whether<br />

we aid in its maintenance, accept<br />

it by dole or seek to destroy it.<br />

OBITUARY<br />

Ernest Lemcke.<br />

Ernest Lemcke, of Millwood, electrician<br />

at the large power plant of the<br />

Westchester Lighting Co., located at<br />

Millwood, Westchester county, died<br />

August 27, at Ossining Hospital.<br />

For several years Mr. and Mrs.<br />

Lemcke lived on Crosby avenue, Brewster.<br />

During this period Mr. Lemcke<br />

was the night electrician at the Mount<br />

Kisco power house of the same company.<br />

When he was sent to Millwood,<br />

it was necessary for him to live nearer<br />

his work.<br />

The funeral took place at Klpp's<br />

Funeral Home, Ossining, this afternoon.<br />

The burial will be in Oakwood<br />

Cemetery, Mt. Kisco.<br />

Home Coming Service<br />

at Southeast Church<br />

Two Hundredth Anniversary of Oldest<br />

Church in Putnam County To Be<br />

Open Sunday for Annual Service.<br />

Rev. Benjamin II. Everitt To Deliver<br />

Address, Rev. Murray II. Gardner<br />

Local Pastor Will Preside.<br />

On Sunday, Sept. 1, at 3 p. m. (D.<br />

S. T.) will be held the eleventh annual<br />

Home Coming service at the<br />

Southeast Presbyterian church, four<br />

miles north of Brewster on Route 22.<br />

By the work recently done the seating<br />

capacity of the building is increased<br />

by more than fifty per cent. The<br />

appearance of the interior will be a<br />

revelation. The beautiful colonial pillars<br />

of the spacious gallery create an<br />

effect of airiness and height which is<br />

impressive. The result is most satisfying.<br />

The work has had the over-sight<br />

of architect Harold B. Truran, who<br />

has donated his services.<br />

The enterior decorating has been<br />

expertly done by Louis Blaney and his<br />

efficient force of painters.<br />

It is expected that there will be present<br />

on Sept. 1, a very considerable<br />

number of descendents of the families<br />

which from the early seventeen<br />

hundreds and on have been identified<br />

with the church.<br />

As for several seasons past, Mr. Arthur<br />

Billings Hunt will have charge of<br />

the service of song and hymns of<br />

Fanny Crosby, born in this parish, will<br />

be sung.<br />

Rev. Benjamin H. Everitt, Executive<br />

Secretary of Westchester Presbytery,<br />

and Rev. Dr. Warren H. Wilson, a<br />

Secretary of the Board of National<br />

Missions of the Presbyterian church<br />

will speak, Rev. Murray H. Gardner,<br />

Moderator of the Session of the<br />

church, presiding.<br />

ENGAGED<br />

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Drum announce<br />

the engagement of their daughter,<br />

Myra, to Mr. J. Edson, Fowler,<br />

Jr. Both young people are popular<br />

members of Brewster's younger set.<br />

Fish and Roosevelt<br />

To Attend Clambake<br />

Hon. Hamilton Fish, Jr., and Theodore<br />

Roosevelt will join the Wappinger<br />

Falls Republican Club on Sunday,<br />

the 15th, for a clambake. Frederic S.<br />

Bontecou, state senator of the Putnam,<br />

Dutchess, Columbia district, will<br />

be at the head of 'the table.<br />

Wilson and Spain<br />

Play Kishawana<br />

Billie Spain and Charles Wilson,<br />

Jr., youthful members of Mahopac<br />

Club enjoyed a round of golf at Kishawana<br />

last Monday. Like hundreds of<br />

others who have tramped up, down<br />

and around Kishawana's fairways and<br />

rough they decided it was the sportiest<br />

and toughest nine hole course in<br />

the United States. Billie started out<br />

with a birdie four on a par five hole<br />

and Charlie was only one over par at<br />

the sixth, but when they finished old<br />

man "par" had knocked then* cards<br />

into the early nineties. So they are<br />

comln' back and bring with them the<br />

Mahopac strong arm squad, MacDonald<br />

and Ferrieri, just to see how formidable<br />

this Kishawana par is.<br />

The most sensational play of the<br />

match must be given to Billie when<br />

he played the fourth, a par 4. His<br />

drive was plenty long but off the narrow<br />

strip of fairway to the left, where<br />

the ball rested among some blackberry<br />

bushes and about two feet from a yellow<br />

Jackets' nest. Bycautious movements<br />

Bilie settled in a position to<br />

swing, only the top of his head being<br />

visible to his opponents. What he did<br />

we can't say except that his ball came<br />

out like a flying squirrel and landed<br />

at the edge of a young forest in back<br />

of the fifth tee. Trees to the front,<br />

trees to the left and right were guarding<br />

his third shot, but Billie, playing<br />

a niblick went for the green. Again<br />

the ball played the part of a chipmunk<br />

and went jumping from limb to<br />

limb, knocking off a few acorns and<br />

finally landed on the green, at the<br />

back some twenty feet from the cup.<br />

With a dangerous down hill putt Billie<br />

went for his par and sunk it to<br />
